hours. the bike program manager we spoke with says that this test really has the potential to be a game changer. >> it really expands the reach of b.a.r.t. on both ends. now you can walk a few blocks, you can drive to the b.a.r.t. station, but being able to have a bike on both ends extends essentially the reach of our station. we see a lot of potential. >> reporter: right now four b.a.r.t. stations have secure bike stations. you can lock them up and leave them there. common sense applies, though. that is that bikes aren't allowed on the first car and if you run into a crowded train you are going to have to wait with your bicycle until a less crowded train comes along. this runs every friday in august and b.a.r.t. is looking for feedback on its website. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> an elderly psychiatrist -- thank you, christie. moving on in our newscast. an elderly psychiatrist accused of molesting patients will
